I use a standard cardboard framed filter for my forced hot air furnace. can I use this instead WITHOUT A FRAME? Thanks , mark

It is relatively soft and flexible so it cannot stand by itself. You could make a screen frame with material from the hardware store and use it to keep the filter in place.

you need a frame to hold it in place, Mind is a metal rack that the hammock filter fits into.

my experience with this filter and lacquer paint is not good. you will need a cartridge filter w/charcoal to be effective against any higher concentrations of paint vapors.

It certainly needs a filter. However, even with the filter, you will feel some air coming from the back, but not as much as when I removed the filter.

Not a HEPA, and a good thing too, since most(just about all) home furnace systems would find a HEPA filter much too air-flow restrictive! Even some filters less than HEPA can be too air-flow restrictive. Best to know what your furnace system can handle.

I use paper filters for easy clean up but the mesh is sufficient on its own. Paper filters fit right into the mesh basket.

Both are available, so you have to watch your descriptions. Typically, only the filter and it slides into the frame that you have. However, if you break the frame, they can be order in tact with a new frame....just pricier.

Hi Justine, I have 3 different models of Honeywells in my home running 24/7. I use the same charcoal/carbon for all 3. I just cut them to fit. they work great and you save money buying them this way.

Before I found this filter I fabricated a home made one using the type of plastic screen wire used for window screens. You can find the screen wire at Home Depot of Lowes

Yes it has a flexible frame and it can be cut if necessary. This is the "Best" HVAC Filter on the market and at Amazon's price, the best bang for your dollar.

Hi Lexa: Please read my review where this was answered. Yes, I have checked with many and they nearly ALL agree that these "secondary filters" should only be used as necessary on a limited basis. As I mentioned previously, I would suggest only using one or at most two of these to help supplement the existing whole house filter you already should have in your HVAC system. I am only using one of these filters in our kitchen which seems to accumulate more debris. Many HVAC contractors insist that these secondary filters are unnecessary and limit airflow making your fan motor work harder. This could result in decreased life expectancy for your system. My strong recommendation is to change your regular whole-house filter at 30-60 day intervals depending on your use. Hope this helps!

No...The filter is cardboard all the way around. They work fine as a Honeywell replacement.

Please read your furnace manual, but I have never heard of only using 1 kind of filter, any kind should work depending how much filtration you want.

I just used a laser level to keep it even and its canvas on wood strips. So there is no need for a frame.

Hello, not sure this will help, but my Honeywell purifier is a model HHT-080. it is a tower as well, and says that it needs size C filters, (2 stacked in the back). Hope you find the right filter.

I've used it for the furnace in my house. You'll have to remove the old filter and check the size to be sure.

It should not cause a problem with the furnace, MERV 11 is a higher rating for trapping particulates.See this site http://www.filters4life.com/What-is-MERV-rating-s/4961.htm among others for a better idea.

The only filter mine had was some screen below the power supply. I guess you can make your own from a furnace filter or something.
